Shopping & ErrandsDone with ChatGPT Agent Jan 1, 2025
Sell your unused items online with an agent
The poster tested ChatGPT Agent Mode handling an online sale over about 10 days, including message handling and price nudges, with little hands-on work.
- What They Did
- The poster’s workflow was: upload an item photo and a few details, switch ChatGPT to Agent Mode, and give it a structured prompt. From there, the agent researched comparable prices, drafted the listing, and used its remote browser to post on marketplaces and draft replies, pausing for the person to log in, approve posts or messages, confirm accuracy, and later handle shipping.
- How It Went
- The claimed result was shrinking roughly 2–3 hours of selling admin into 10–20 minutes of supervision over a 10-day selling sprint. It was not hands-off: the poster says the agent cannot verify missing facts, bypass platform checks, or ship the item, and comments mention login and image-loading issues.
- Worth Knowing
- The source says Agent Mode required a paid ChatGPT plan, at least the $20/month tier.
